As a teacher of ABE (Adult Basic Education), this course will help me better meet the needs of my students. In particular, I will pay more attention to Knowles' Six Assumptions about Adult Learning. I believe they could work with high school students, too!

I find the videos and transcripts did little to help me understand the Assumptions, which were confusing.
